We were scheduled to do a 9 and a 7. We finished the 9 after a rain and lightning delay. I do not think we got out of the 1st inning of the second game. Then I ran into a D1 basketball official whose son plays for the home team. We talked and I will see him at a camp in June.

Okay, Jeff. Fair enough. I won't take the time to scan the archives to prove you were bragging about working college basball games in the past in South Bend, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I would like to know, however, what college conference double header was being played here on Easter of this year. Since you called the first end of the series you should have an answer.

Tim.

Why don't you so some research and figure it out Tim? I do not see you giving me information about the games you work and you do not see me asking you either. I gave you the state and the type of program it was. I even gave you specific information so that you could verify what I told you. I am in the Box Score, so this should be easy for you.

Also Tim, you need to go look around the country because there were many Division 1 programs that played on Easter Sunday. Miami and FSU played on Easter Sunday and I can tell you I was no where near Florida on Easter.

Peace

It's what I thought, Jeff, you were lying. The only college in the South Bend area that still has a baseball program, other than the University of Notre Dame is Bethel College in Mishawaka. Bethel is a small NAIA Christian College that will notplay a baseball game on Easter Sunday. I'm sure you already know that there's no way that Notre Dame would schedule a game on Easter either. I have no idea what Miami and FSU have to do with this conversation. That is unless you're claiming they played in South Bend on Easter and you worked the games. Of course there's St. Marys College here in South Bend, so you could have been talking about working one of their games. Oh, wait, they're an all girls College and are the sister school to the University of Notre Dame so they wouldn't play on Easter either even if they did have a baseball team. Or, was it Holy Cross Junior College? Nope, they don't have a baseball program and again, even if they did they are a feeder school to the University of Notre Dame and is run by The Brothers of the Holy Cross, so they wouldn't play on Easter either.

Tim, did you actually read what I said? I never said I worked a "baseball" game in South Bend, IN. I worked a Women's college game (5 or 6 years ago) in South Bend against a team in from Florida. All 3 officials were from the Chicago area and I drove to the game after picking everyone up. I remember the game because the coach from South Bend complained that the game was called differently (in her mind) from the first half to the second half. Also the Florida Coach thought we all were from Indiana and made a couple of comments during the game about "I am from Indiana too." I remember the look on his face when I told him, "Coach we are all from Illinois" and that type of conversation ended. It was a funny game.

You seriously wrote this? Show the quote where I said I worked a baseball game in South Bend, IN on Easter or any day for that matter? Where is the quote Tim? You talk about how I make stuff up, show me the quote? I never said I worked in Indiana on Easter. I did not specify South Bend or any Indiana town. If you cannot figure out where it is I will give you a hint. I worked at the school that my alma mater is in the same conference. Also my alma mater played that day as well (conference game). They gave conference updates every other inning from my home town and for some reason they avoided the weather we were hit with. My school used to get their butts kicked in basketball all the time in the Conference Tournament Finals and this school went on the NCAA Tournament and had one of the most famous plays take place in the NCAA Men's Tournament. Once again, I my name is in the box score.

I do not even know who assigns the conference that Holy Cross would be in. We have more than enough D3 and JUCO schools within a 50 mile radius from where I live I would likely not go that far for a JUCO game. Oh well, life goes on.

Here's where Jeff Rutledge was umpiring on Easter. Now can both of you give it a rest?

Why does it not surprise me that Tim could not figure this out by himself?
